Now that the language files are fairly stable, we should be able to do
this without any accidental reverts taking place (if any do happen, it
should be easy to see and prevent)
These are errors and issues that have been reported, but are fixable by
us without needing to involve the translator in the fix, without too
much risk of accidentally breaking grammar rules.
The full list of fixes:
- Fixed some menus going offscreen by removing unneeded words (I'm
fairly confident after some cross-referencing and research) in
Portuguese BR, Portuguese PT, Spanish, and French
- Set 0 to singular in numbers.xml in Portuguese BR and French
- Removed the ** from dimensional stability generator to make it not go
offscreen, and aligned the text better, in Portuguese BR and Spanish
- Fixed some small casing and spacing errors in Portuguese BR, French
and Welsh. Think of misplaced spaces or sentences starting with a
lowercase letter
- Fixed a limit break in Spanish (the menu button already drops the
word "de" in "retraso de la entrada", so the title can too, right?)
- Corrected some typos in French and German (je continuer->je continue,
9: Finde->9: Feinde and NENÜ->MENU)
- Fixed spacing and alignment in teletype terminals in Welsh (like the
dimensional stability generator)
This was easier than I expected - just add an optional buttons="1"
attribute to cutscenes.xml. It's treated like the speaker attribute -
it's only there as context for the translator, and for the cutscene
test.
Due to rebasing messiness and diff noise, it's probably best if pull
requests either don't sync all the language files at all (and only
modify the English ones) OR only do it as a final commit. It's still
something we need to figure out, lol.
The following languages are new:
- French
- German
- Italian
- Portuguese (BR)
- Portuguese (PT)
- Russian
- Spanish
- Turkish
Esperanto has also received some updates.
These are from a fan translation that was originally made in 2020.
The files were kept around as a possible base for the future Spanish
translators, and now that a first version of the new Spanish
translation is being tested, it's time to remove this one. These files
are making it very annoying for me to test all the new translations and
then jump around between different commits (and they're already not in
the round 2 translator pack).
Actually, this won't really help with the jumping around different
commits part... But the sooner it's removed, the less confusing it will
be when different versions of the language pack are floating around and
the latest version needs to be added, and the less "Changes not staged
for commit" problems you'll get when testing the new language packs.
(Or two different españols being on the language screen)
